[QUOTE="Denise2017, post: 756654, member: 21870"] Overwhelmed I wanted to chime in and say that you are in wise and loving company here. Copabanana and Busy are wise caring, experienced people. I want to thank them here for the help they have given me and tell you a bit about myself. I also have an abusive daughter around the age of your son. She has anger management issues and is bipolar (at present she denies the bipolar). She is only steps away from being homeless. She is totally estranged from the entire family. I have not yet resolved my situation. It is costing me a lot of emotional pain on a daily basis. In fact I haven’t even been back to my own thread for a while because I have been so caught up in the daily drama. I have made the decision however, supported by the wise commenters on this site and my therapist, not to let her live with me. She has hit us, made existential threats and many other abusive actions. So far she has managed (by a very slim margin) to avoid going to a shelter, but it is taking a great toll on many levels. And the situation will repeat if our behaviors don’t change. She doesn’t want therapy or to change. Everything is our fault. We deserve to have lives. Good lives. I’m very glad that you found the geese and ducks. We have found that taking a 45 minute walk with our dog every day is a big help. So we both need to learn, to take control of our lives rather than giving our children that control. Referencing Copa’s quote above, I am also still working towards finding peace, strength and protecting myself. I am working on it. I have taken some steps. I know you can too. I wish you strength and peace, and so glad you found this wonderful site. [/QUOTE]
